Ayu and Namie in outfits from the same collection from DOLCE&GABBANA.


Ayu won this time. Usually she doesn't, haha.

Namie and Ayu's original runway looks:

Ayu outmodeled the original model, and Namie... I dunno. You make the call.

^ in the last pic ~ is that Jolin Tsai!???

Where are you looking? :P

I think that our J-stars modelled both better.

I like ayu's better than the model...I like how they made the skirt puffier. Namie's is nice too but I don't like the way she look in the pic. She always look good in magazine pics but that pic is not so good.

Yeah Ayu and Namie wore it better~

^ :yes

I love D&G designs! :love

Found 2 new similar/same styles:)

Ayu wore this dress...

already twice and here again in blue:

it's from a is this LOVE?/STEP you Music Station live.
I think she wore the orange one for another STEP you live? The screencap looks as if she does the "STEP you" dance move :laugh

And this egg model seems to wear something similar to Ayu's Days Pv outfit~
http://i46.tinypic.com/dgnw4z.jpg

^ Ooh~ good finds. :yes

I wish I had the Days outfit.

Days' outfit was a Peach John creation... but it sold out relatively fast, haha.

It's no wonder it sold out so fast~~~ it was so cute... Boo, I wanted one XD

i love this thread!!

The Days outfit was really really cute, even I would've worn it!

I love this thread, it's so interesting!

I really love that outfit *.*
Orange is really better than blue

Days outfit looks cute in everyone..

Same here! Ayu looked really good in it, too :)

Wow I've noticed four of these before.

I actually prefer the blue one, though the orange one is really pretty and summery. It's a really pretty dress.

Lol I love pretty and summery things *^o^* Ayu looks gorgeous in both colors too *o*

Just saw on christna aguilera's new single cover "not myself tonight" isn't it the same metal belt ayu wore for a magazine?

after i download some asian fashion magz i saw this, maybe someone mentioned about that, it's not "style" after all, it's same place + and pose:

http://i42.tinypic.com/24n36af.png

it's from GLAMOROUS 7/2008 (what was first? calendar or this mag?)

^ Lol I posted the same thing some posts ago, but I deleted the picture

yeah, i was lurkin here around for photo if was posted before but i didn't saw anything~ :D

That calendar picture was shot sometime between July 21st and 26th 2008, so I guess it's possible some art director or whatever saw it and thought it was a nice picture to use for the calendar? :shrug Could also be a coincidence since it's a pretty obvious place to take pictures.

I spotted this recently

http://i42.tinypic.com/2j29oox.png

I like the way ayu wore it more.

oh wow. but i think i like both ^__^

Love the dress in both pictures; love the dress in general, it's just great.

I am soooo biased but w/e :D I think Ayu wore it waaay better; Ayu looks natural and like she's having fun~ (^_^)

Hyori also wore it? WOW :D It looks great on both tbh. Great dress.

that dress ayu & hyori wear is BALMAIN about 1.639 POUNSTERLING lol

Some girl from gossip girl wore the same dress or something similar to the one ayu wore a couple years ago. It's obvious who looks better and more classy lol.
http://i40.tinypic.com/qntc75.jpg

^ I love how Ayu wore it~ Ayu always wears things more classy imo ;)

^yep~!

wow I really prefer Ayu.

The other one is too short & I don't love the silk stockings X_X

That girl in the D&G dress makes it look really trashy. I love the dress on Ayu though. It looks natural. And the dress that Hyori & Ayu wore look great on both. :)

Err...yeah, I think it's a safe bet on who wore it better and with a bit more class lol

I think this Australian singer is wearing the same (or at least very similar) lace catsuit that Ayu wears for her R & RC tour merchandise, in her latest video:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAuPbbZjniw

Wow, lol. I like Ayu's outfit better.

I would like Ayu's more if she didn't have those ugly gloves to go with it. :no I like both though.

When was that Vivi from? I know about the "STEP you" stuff - that was 2005, but what about the Vivi?

This dress keeps popping up.

That's Janice Dickinson wearing it at the New Now Next Awards about a week ago.

^ if you cut off her face (even though i love her for the most part because of how ******y she is) she wears it the best because of those shoes. Plus she's an ex supermodel so she has the right frame for it.

taylor momsen wears it the worst and ayu wears it pretty good! but ayu should have gotten it altered a bit so it fits her the way the dress was intended on the thighs. she can't help she's short. but deffo not the way taylor altered it to where the dress looks sleezy.

Thank you!

A friend from a German Ayu Forum found this:
http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/3...mizcaufufu.jpg

It's a really cute pic *.*
who is she?

Overall, I think Ayu brings a cuter look to these outfits than her counterparts. I think because she has a cute personality, it translates in her pictures.

Wow she is reli cute! I'd also like to know who she is :D

I think both Ayu & this girl wore the London hat well (^_^)

^She's an electro-pop artist called Mizca. ^^

^ Thanks! :)

thanks for info.^^

Same theme as Microphone in this PV:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzApK...eature=related

^ Was it released before or after the Microphone PV? Yeah, the iphone thing is very similar lol.

The date for that video (the date it was uploaded) was May. So after. Single was released June 2nd.

Hey, I've found another one!

She's Abbey Clancy, the girlfriend of Peter Crouch (a football player).
She went to the Brit Awards 2010, held in Earls Court on February 16 2010 in London, with this dress.

Familiar?

that balmain dress . a must have??

Ayu's gloves ruin that dress for me but both look nice. That girl is kinda pretty but I've never heard of her.

I actually like it more with the gloves.

Me too. Makes it cooler.

makes it more elegant and class actually.. i mean ayu with the gloves on.. that woman looked so punk...

I really like Ayu's taste in fashion. She really know what to wear and what looks good on her. I've looked at those who wore similar clothing such as hers but I have to say that Ayu wore them best.That's just how I see it at least.

I don't like the gloves either. It makes the whole picture look tacky. They draw too much attention and almost seem like the focal point of the photograph.

I like Ayu's version with the gloves and leggings better. Makes it look really rock! :D

I agree with everyone who said they like the gloves. :) They completed the Rock 'n' Roll Circus look and...look really cool with the outfit! The leggings look awesome too :D

^ Well I saw that BALMAIN dress in person. It's really sparkly and so gorgeous ^_^. When I saw that I immediately think of ayu :p

Nice I love that dress a lot!

I've always really loved that dress!

I think in the variety of ways it was worn you can see how much you can pull off one outfit, and how each time it displays the personality of the wearer. I love that about fashion.

Ayu's way is certainly one of the coolest to me :)

Love that dress with the gloves & with the jacket but only dress is not spectacular

I haven't had a chance to check it out myself but the black corset top that Ayu wears in FUTURE CLASSICS, near the end of the main show, I think just after the countdown; it reminds me a lot of the one in the GAME PV. Though it has been a while since I've seen the GAME PV so it could be I'm just associating the two together because I love them both.

there are changes to the dress, where part of her dress is connected from her hand to the dress, before it wasn't

^ That dress was always so beautiful.

^^That's a nice one.

I saw this icon today, don't know who it is but looks like the RnRC hat again?
http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/102610195/21779947

Looks like Dita o.o

Oooh it IS that hat again!! Wow its popular it seems!

The woman is Dita Von Teese, quite sure about it.

*.* I would like to have that hat!!!

Did anyone post this?

Jennifer Lopez on the cover of BLENDA April 2008 and Ayu from the GUILTY photobook. Referring to the belt only here, of course.

I think we already saw another artist wearing that belt but I don't know if it was that pic!

^
Oh, okay. I just wasn't sure. I had this magazine at home, and I was like "Didn't Ayu wear one of those?"

Actually some of the photos you might find are from the runway shows of designer collections, so it's totally normal that you'll find something familliar.

And I sort of noticed she likes D&G quite much XD
That brand is soooo....worn out, in my oppinion.. :rolleyes

oh and I like how she doesn't bother buying new stuff offten, just does alterations to her old dresses or combines things in different ways. I think that's very creative, I probably should give kudos to stylists also :)

And one more thisng - I ABSOLUTELLY LOVE her obsession to giantic dresses, especially for concerts and PVs. They always amaze me @_@

Ayu and Koda wearing the same dress
http://pics.livejournal.com/noesunexito/pic/000rhg47

nice but I don't really like the pink ribbon.

The dress is horrible!!!

I agree with you about the gigantic dresses, ayu looks like a princess in them, I loove them. I think it's so cute how she's so tiny and wears such huge dresses too.

Hmm, I think I like that dress more on ayu, it seems to suit her more. Kumi doesn't really fit with the cutesy clothes with bows and stuff imo.

Yea that definitely looks like Dita. And that hat is becoming a huge fashion trend lately. I love it~
I also love how Ayu reuses her performance outfits, at least she's not one of those that just wears it once and gets rid of it. A lot of the stuff she wears is designer, high priced clothing, so I would do the same thing in her position.

I think that ribon is attached, i have a feeling it doesn't go with the dress..:no

I AGREEE!!!!!!:yes I realy don't like it....:no

I love the way she wears those dresses, i don't quite see the princess in her, but they just suit her so much!
and I agree on the contrast that she wears such huge things being so small ;)
about that pink dress, in my oppinion it looks better on ayu, because she has that pose and it makes her body seem taller, while Kumi looks kind of out of proportion, and the dress itself doesn't really go well with her usual style, I mean that hair and accesories, just seem so off to me...

I got one!!

Ayu in SWEET

And actress Leighton Meester for Cosmopolitan

http://lh6.ggpht.com/_H1KTbiuU6es/Si...j-o1XUo/06.jpg

probably :yes


natapan=> :luv2 omg I always love tha dress. Both are so pretty

^^ Really pretty dress. I want it! :laugh

Not style but Nicki Minaj's new video with Rihanna is set on the same location as the Do It Again PV with the wrecked street and airplane :)

Nice find!!!

I find this interesting :D I never notice anything, blaaah ;D For all of these pictures I get a "OMG COOL!!!" feeling xD

wooo.. I think it's just the same dress. But maybe she put something on her dress on PoM to look different.

PoM dress with crystals

i think she just love this dress... hot pink!! and she wore pink boots instead of heels...

Dress is OK, but I hate the hair.

oh tha'ts what i thought too..
she just put some swarovski on the dress..
it's a very cute pink dress!

Kinda like the above and A COMPLETE...
